JUNGLE PAM HARDY – 62 – $1.85 MILLION


We’ve met Hollywood actresses and singers so far on this list, but Jungle Pam Hardy was quite different from the rest. While others are doing very well as movie stars, she was burning rubber and was one of the biggest names in racing. Hardy became popular in the ’70s and was associated with Jungle Jim Liberman as his “sidekick”. She was the one getting the crowd pumped up for him. The duo met in 1972 before tragedy struck their partnership.

Liberman was in an accident, which caused his passing in 1977. He was able to leave his legacy and life insurance to his family, fortunately, but this does not make things any easier for the loved ones he left behind. The industry should give more credit to Hardy for her unique contribution to Hollywood. Indeed, her looks, smile, style, and hair remain iconic and an inspiration to many people until today.
